<A NAME="sec4"><H3>Description</H3></A>
<P>The <SAMP>find_first_of()</SAMP> algorithm finds the first occurrence of a value from a sequence, specified by <SAMP>start2, finish2</SAMP>, in a sequence specified by <SAMP>start1, finish1</SAMP>. The algorithm returns an iterator in the range <SAMP>[start1, finish1) </SAMP>that points to the first matching element<SAMP>.</SAMP> If the first sequence <SAMP>[start1, finish1)</SAMP> does not contain any of the values in the second sequence, <SAMP>find_first_of()</SAMP> returns <SAMP>finish1</SAMP>. </P>
<P>In other words, <SAMP>find_first_of()</SAMP> returns the first iterator <SAMP>i</SAMP> in <SAMP>[start1, finish1)</SAMP>such that for some iterator <SAMP>j</SAMP> in the range <SAMP>[start2, finish2)</SAMP>, the following conditions hold: </P>

<UL><PRE>*i == *j, binary_pred(*i,*j) == true.
</PRE></UL>
<P>Or <SAMP>find_first_of()</SAMP> returns <SAMP>finish1</SAMP> if no such iterator is found.</P>
<P>Two versions of the algorithm exist. The first uses the equality operator as the default binary predicate, and the second allows you to specify a binary predicate.</P>
<A NAME="sec5"><H3>Complexity</H3></A>
<P>At most <SAMP>(finish1 - start1)*(finish2 - start2)</SAMP> applications of the corresponding predicate are done.</P>
